How is the Game play and Game mechanics?

[BadgerMilk]

I see far too much hate about performance or the coop, tell me about the game and how it feels to play? The Umbral thing seems cool, also does anyone know hoe long the game is?

If you're looking for something that is soulslike but also feels really different and new, this should be the game for you. I found it to be too different and disliked it myself, but that's just my personal taste.

Love to zoom in and out to find a way between two worlds?
You're in luck. This is game for you.
I don't know about other but I got motion sick somehow.

combat feel floaty, nowhere near as good as a fromsoft souls game.

Honestly, Lamp puzzles aside, (Which is cool, but slighlty annoying after a few hs) the gameplay so far feels bland and borderline boring. I do miss jumping, and I think Elder ring may have broken the genre for me in that regard, so take that comment with a grain of salt.

Feels more like DS3, but with dumber enemies and weird controls. Bosses are OKish. Just finished the first map, I cant shake the idea that either was rushed or poorly ported, feels clunky, even without having perf issues (90+ FPS / All Ultra) Graphs are... just meh.

So far, feels like a game that I will probably finish, unless something more fun comes my way.

reminds me on DS3 so far.

I like the Umbral Lamp mechanic of seeing into another map within your current map to try to explore or resolve things.

The combat and inputs have been more responsive than Elden Ring (no hit stun buffer that I've seen) and haven't found an enemy that tries to swing at you through a wall yet. Can't guard strafe though, so if you don't camera lock will be a bit harder to defend.
